Gutters

Finally after two months of trying, we were able to put our gutters up this weekend. We first planned to do gutters mid-March, but than that Saturday Dustin was called into work. Then we had a date mid-April, and ironically it rained. I'm so glad that the gutters are up and the project is behind us now. Dustin's parent's were so nice to come out and help us. Actually, they were way nice and painted the gutters for us before hand.

After breakfast we got started working. Well, Dustin and his parents started working as I chased after the kids. Of course, if you show Morgan a ladder she has to climb it. She was always right there to help where ever she could.


Here is sweet little Ethan finishing up his bagel and cheerios while everyone got started working. Don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks?


The eave on our house is at an angle, so Dustin measured the angle and then his dad put the wood together and painted it for us. Here are Dustin and his dad cutting the angled wood to fit the last piece in.
Here is our little helper holding up the gutters while Dustin sprays the roof to test to make sure the angle of the gutters was right. Actually, this looks like she's pulling it down.

Ethan of course came to hang out on the patio with us. He does not like to miss out on the action.

To help keep Morgan busy Dustin's dad partly hammered nails into some spare wood. Morgan loved hammering those nails.
Dustin and Morgan enjoying their popsicles after all that hard work was done.
Don't look to closely at the paining. I tried my best, but it was hot and the paint was drying fast. But it's good enough for government work. At least that's what Dustin keeps telling me.
Now we just need rain to test them out.
